Three arrested over lynching of Liberian national

Three individuals have been arrested for allegedly lynching a 26-year-old Liberian national, Austin Tengeeh, leading to his death near Lashibi in the Greater Accra Region.

The suspects, Francis Amuzu, 44; William Adison, 36; and Vincent Adzikah, 34; are said to have attacked the deceased near the offices of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) in the area.

Preliminary investigations suggest the crowd allegedly mistook him for a thief.

According to a police situational report, the Sakumono District Patrol Team received a distress call from an unidentified individual on 27 February 2026, indicating that a man had been attacked and severely beaten by a group of irate persons.

Officers swiftly proceeded to the scene, where they found the victim lying unconscious with visible injuries to his neck and head.

He was rushed to the Sakumono Community Hospital for emergency treatment but was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. His body has since been deposited at the hospital’s morgue.

The suspects are in police custody, assisting with investigations as police intensify efforts to apprehend all individuals involved in the incident.
